This Excel LAMBDA function allows us to pass 1, 2 and 3 sequences to the DATE function to produce complex lists of dates
DATE.EXP = LAMBDA(y, m, d,
LET(
mdJoin, CROSSJOIN(m, d),
ymdJoin, CROSSJOIN(y, mdJoin),
yearArray, CHOOSECOLS(ymdJoin, 1),
monthArray, CHOOSECOLS(ymdJoin, 2),
dayArray, CHOOSECOLS(ymdJoin, -1),
SORT(MAP(yearArray, monthArray, dayArray, DATE))
)
);
/*
Name: Cross Join Two Arrays or Tables (CROSSJOIN)
Description: Returns all possible combinations of two arrays of data, with or without header rows.
If the arrays have only one row, it will be assumed that they are row vectors, otherwise it
assumes the arrays are columns of data.
Parameters:
array1 - first array of data with one or more columns
array2 - second array of data with one or more columns
[has_header_row] - true if the first row of the arrays contain a header row, default: false
